I’ve seen a lot of people insist that we were going to stop doing democracy going forward.

I was skeptical, precisely because the Mamdani race appeared to illustrate how an unpopular incumbent friend-of-Trump could absolutely still lose to a socialist outsider campaign by a local town populist hero. But now I’m seeing the Dem national establishment freak out in such a way that… Idk, maybe they really will try to toss the results of the primary in the trash and tell Zohran he’s not welcome in the general.
